Chapter 484: Identity About to be Exposed
The man in the black suit fled, scrambling into his car and speeding away from the company in a panic.
’I’ve seen almost every big shot from the Yu Family at the Master Realm or above. I don’t recognize that guy. Could he be that bitch Qin Shuang’s boyfriend?’
The man in the black suit replayed the recent events in his mind as he drove. Suddenly, he thought of something and slammed on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road. "Wait! Him... I remember seeing him somewhere... That’s right! He’s the man from the AM Company’s new product launch! His name is Jiang... Xinghai!"
Realization dawned on the man in the black suit.
Jiang Xinghai wasn’t a heavy hitter from the Yu Family, true, but he was one of the people in charge at AM Company’s headquarters!
’A Grandmaster? Hmph! So what if you’re a Venerable?’
The man in the black suit lit a cigarette, composing his thoughts before dialing Wei Jianing’s number. "Miss, about what happened earlier..."
He recounted everything that had happened at the AM branch office.
"You useless fool."
Wei Jianing sighed in exasperation. "Still, this Jiang Xinghai you mentioned... The name doesn’t ring a bell. What’s he like?"
"He... dresses very plainly. He was just wearing camouflage fatigues. At first, I thought he was just some construction worker," the man in the black suit reported honestly.
"Camouflage?"
Wei Jianing smirked. "Even if Jiang Xinghai is a Grandmaster, a slob like that can’t be taken seriously. He’s nothing to worry about."
"Miss, should I ask one of the Wei Family’s Grandmasters to come over? I’m still near their AM branch office," the man in the black suit added.
"Don’t bother. There’s no rush. Aren’t they still renovating? Let’s wait a few days. Once they’re all done and the factory starts its trial run, we’ll hit them with everything we’ve got, all at once." With that, Wei Jianing hung up.
As the esteemed young lady of the Wei Family and head of the Runmei Cosmetics Company, sending thugs to cause trouble for a competitor was already beneath her.
But in the end, they had botched the job, leaving her feeling both ashamed and enraged.
’Camouflage... Wait!’
Wei Jianing, who had been on her treadmill, suddenly leaped off. She frantically pulled up the Sun Family’s wanted notice on her phone.
That very afternoon, Sun Jiaping, the eldest son and heir of the Sun Family, had been killed by a man and a woman on the second floor of the Gathering Talent Tower.
All the surveillance cameras had been destroyed, leaving nothing but the accounts of a few eyewitnesses.
According to eyewitness descriptions, the pair were young. The man was handsome and charismatic, the woman delicate and beautiful. The man was wearing camouflage clothing, and the woman was wearing...
Camouflage clothing!
Could it be—
The expression on Wei Jianing’s face slowly froze.
’Could the man in camouflage who killed Sun Jiaping be Jiang Xinghai?’
She mulled it over in disbelief. ’The Sun Family is already hunting for the killer. If Jiang Xinghai really is their man, then I won’t have to lift a finger...’
「At the same time.」
「The AM Branch Office.」
Jiang Xinghai and Qin Shuang were still discussing how to deal with the Wei Family’s Runmei Company if they sent more people to cause trouble.
"The Wei Family started this, so they’re the ones in the wrong. After a lesson like this, they should lie low for a while," Jiang Xinghai analyzed.
"But the Wei Family isn’t the type to take a loss lying down." Qin Shuang shook her head as she looked at Jiang Xinghai.
’She hadn’t expected this. Not only were his medical skills impressive, but his fighting ability was incredible.’
"The Wei Family won’t escalate things for at least a week. If they do, they’ll just be looked down on by everyone. For a dignified First-class Clan to resort to such crude tactics... the family would lose face," Jiang Xinghai reasoned.
Qin Shuang nodded. Jiang Xinghai’s analysis made sense.
Before long, Yu Li sent over thirty guards from her family: ten Venerables and twenty Grandmasters.
This force was more than enough to handle any trouble.
"In that case, I can rest easy."
Jiang Xinghai gave the guards some final instructions, then prepared to take his leave of Qin Shuang.
"Where are you off to, Mr. Jiang? Could we have dinner together tonight?" Seeing that Jiang Xinghai was about to leave, Qin Shuang felt a surprising pang of reluctance.
They had only just met, having known each other for less than half a day.
But in that short time, Jiang Xinghai had massaged her swollen ankle, and that, among other things, had caused her to develop a strong liking for him.
In fact, he was the only man who could bring her such pleasure with a simple massage.
"I have to leave town on business tomorrow, so I need to pack tonight. We’ll see each other again some other time," Jiang Xinghai said, not revealing too many details.
After all, they weren’t exactly intimate yet; they barely knew each other.
’He had to admit, though, his hand had grazed her sacred place, among other things... a series of pleasant surprises.’
"Well, I’ll look forward to seeing you again. And when we do, I insist on treating you to a proper meal," Qin Shuang said warmly, opening her arms for a hug.
Jiang Xinghai gave her a tight hug. "Until next time, Miss Qin."
He turned and got into his car.
’He definitely did that on purpose.’
Qin Shuang rubbed her chest. ’Such a powerful grip... I just wonder if his ’little brother’ is as strong as his arms?’
Jiang Xinghai had already driven off, completely unaware of what was running through Qin Shuang’s mind.
Nor did he know that, thanks to Wei Jianing’s scheming, his identity was about to be exposed to the Sun Family.
